This last weekend gone i was in a team running a ford falcon V8 supercar (the aussie ones, this one was 2 seasons old) in the britcar series in the UK, sharing a garage with us was some guys with a fair bit of dosh, they were in the class below running an E36 M3 EVO but quite seriously modified! This thing was QUICK! Same as our (650bhp at the crank) falcon in a straight line, but untouchable in the corners.
I had a quick nosey round it, it was running unbranded dampers and springs, but a flat carbon kevlar undertray with a huge diffuser and rear wing on the back. It was astonishing through bridge at silverstone!
The engine has double vanos, and a red coloured cam cover (not sure if that means anything) it has the huge carbon fibre one piece inlet plenum and a racing manifold and side exit exhuast (fooking loud!).
I'll try and get some pictures next race. At brands hatch unfortunately david leslie had a little bit of an argument with a porsche at the start and didnt get much further than the 2nd corner (front completely stoved in, rear wacked as well
).
Total threadjack im sorry, but along the lines of racing BMW's.
I'll go search for some pics of it.
